I’m a big fan of Collective Nouns. Collective Nouns are things like a pack of dogs or a gaggle of geese. Some of them are really bizarre, like a murder of crows, or an improbability of gnus. My personal favorite is an unkindness of ravens. It’s got this mixture of foreboding and awkwardness.

I have decided the world needs more of these, and am happy to introduce a few to you.
